1. INTRODUCTION
“ABRITES diagnostics for NISSAN” is a Windows PC based professional diagnostic software for
vehicles from the NISSAN group. With the help of this software you can perform complete diagnostic
operations of all 2000-present vehicles from the NISSAN group, which are in most cases
unsupported by other diagnostic testers manufacturers. The “ABRITES diagnostics for NISSAN” also
provides complete standard diagnostics (read faults, erase faults, current data, actuator tests) for
NISSAN vehicles. Our PC USB diagnostic interface supports K-Line and CAN-BUS interface.
Diagnostics is performed via the OBD-II connector.
2.
Key learning
Nissan diagnostics is intended for key learning of Nissan vehicles with Immobilizer systems – NATS-2,
NATS-4, NATS-5, NATS5+. Connection with immobilizer is to be carried out directly to the
immobilizer, instead of OBDII. You have to connect the AVDI interface to the immobilizer.
From the main screen you can select the model of the car and the type of engine.

4. Options
This set of functions allows you to set up your software.
4.1 Used Protocols
The meaning of the check-boxes is as follows:
-
CAN ISO TP - when trying to connect to the device the diagnostics will try to connect to it
using “KWP2000 over ISO transport protocol” with baud 500KB/s
-
K-Line KWP2000 - when trying to connect to the device the diagnostics will try to connect to
it using “KWP2000 over K-Line with fast init” with group speed selected in “K-Line Baud Rate
Setting”.
4.2 Set Fast init parameters
You can set-up you own time for fast init procedure. By default it is 25 msec. Use the “Up” and “Dn”
boxes to adjust the time.
4.3 Logging
By checking the “Enable CAN Log” and “Enable K-Line Log” check-boxes on the “Logging” group it is
possible to log the whole CAN/K-Line communication when a problem with a specific control unit
occurs.
Please, note that they are active by default!
The log-files are binary files which are placed in the “Trace” sub-folder of the ABRITES diagnostics for
NISSAN. For each start of the ABRITES diagnostics for NISSAN one file is created, it contains the
date/time when it is created in its filename.
NOTE: Please, pay attention that if you enable logging this may significantly decrease the PC
performance since writing big data blocks on the hard drive may consume more time on slower
machines. So, if your PC is slower, please use the log function only when a problem has to be
reported. Also if you have low Hard disk space, you can disable communication logging and/or
remove old Log files.
4.4 Set COM port
Normally, the “ABRITES diagnostics for NISSAN” USB Interface is recognized automatically, but there
is an option to set it manually. So if you have trouble, as described in the “Troubleshooting” section,
you can try to set the port used by the “ABRITES diagnostics for NISSAN” manually. This can be done
as follows:
-
Open the “Device manager” and check which COM port the USB interface is recognized as.
Uncheck the “Automatic” check-box and set the port in the respective field.
Example:
USB interface device recognized as COM11
Hint:
If you are not sure which the port used by the interface is, just unplug and then plug
it into the USB slot observing the “Ports” section in “Device Manager”. The corresponding port
will disappears and appear again.
4.5 K-Line baud rate sequence
When trying to connect to a device in the vehicle over K-Line, the Abrites diagnostics will try to
connect to it using one baud rate, if it does not succeed it will switch to another baud rate and try
again. There are two baud rate values currently used – 10427 and 9600. Using the “10472 \ 9600”
and “9600 \ 10247” radio-buttons within the options dialog one can set the order in which these
two baud rate values will be used.
If “10472 \ 9600” is selected, then the diagnostics will try to connect to the device over K-Line using
baud rate 10472 first and if it does not succeed, it will switch to 9600 and try again with it. If “9600 \
10472” is selected, then the diagnostics will try to connect to the device using baud rate 9600 first
and if it does not succeed it will switch to 10472 and try again with it.
4.6 Advanced
The protocols running under K-Line require very precise byte timing. Since Windows is not a realtime operating system, these times are not always respected, so it is possible that the
communication with some devices is unstable, or it is not possible to connect. In such cases you can
try to change some of the times timing parameters from the “Advanced” button.
The timing parameters have the following meaning:
Wakeup echo delay – time after slow init between receiving “55 xx yy” and sending the inverted
value of “yy” (according the K-Line wakeup procedure)
Communication echo delay – time between reception of a byte under KWP1281 and sending it
inverted back to the device
Inter byte time – time between sending two bytes under KWP2000
Time between messages – time delay between reception of response from device and sending new
request to it.
5. Troubleshooting
Below you can find a list of typical problems and how to solve them:
Problem: When starting the “ABRITES diagnostics for NISSAN” on the splash screen “Interface NOT
found” is displayed
Solution:
-
-
-
Please, make sure that the USB interface drivers are installed properly. You can look at the
device manager, the USB interface should appear as “USB Serial Port (COMxx)” where “xx” is
the number of the port
If the interface is recognized OK, then please try to unplug and plug it again into the USB slot
and restart the “ABRITES diagnostics for NISSAN”.
If the interface is not recognized (the USB interface appears with a yellow exclamation mark
in the device manager), then you can try to solve the problem by uninstalling and reinstalling
the USB interface drivers (see sections “Installing USB interface drivers” and “Uninstalling
USB interface drivers”).
If the problem is still present, you can try to set the used port manually as follows:
o Start the “ABRITES diagnostics for NISSAN”
o Press the “Options” button
o Uncheck the “Autodetect” check-box and enter the number of the port from the
device manager.
o The changes will take effect after restart of the “ABRITES diagnostics for NISSAN”
NOTE: Please, take into account that the used port will change when inserting the USB
interface into different USB slots, so the manual setting of the port should be repeated
in this case.
Problem: When starting the “ABRITES diagnostics for NISSAN” on the splash screen neither
“Interface found” nor “Interface NOT found” is displayed
Solution:
-
Please try to unplug and plug the dongle and the USB interface again into the USB slot and
restart the “ABRITES diagnostics for NISSAN”.
